Flower in the crannied wall,
I pluck you out of the crannies--
Hold you here, root and all, in my hand,
Little flower--but if I could understand
What you are, root and all, and all in all,
I should know what God and man is.
--Alfred Tennyson.
So much is history stranger than fiction, and so true it is Nature
has caprices which Art dares not imitate.
--Thomas Macaulay.
Nature is the face of God. He appears to us through it, and we can
read his thoughts in it.
--Victor Hugo.
Many, O Jehovah my God, are the wonderful works
which thou hast done,
And thy thoughts which are to us-ward.
--Psalm 40. 5.
Eternal God, I thank thee for the seasons which bring abundance and
beauty. I thank thee for thy loving care, which is over all and
forever. May I behold thy works and make thee a very present help for
all my needs, and perceive the joy of thy love through the greatness
of the earth. Amen.
